Great pictures! The hut roof was from a 1950's Marx jungle set. I received the Irwin set for Christmas in 1963( my parents were very progressive). I was five years old and remember the Tiki piece was my favorite in the set. I've been following the call of the Tiki ever since.

AND you have been a good keeper of your toys, I say!

- What better proof of how ubiquitous Tiki was in 1964 than having one included in a modernist doll house set!

Ooh, nice, never saw the whole set, just got the building. It's a very simplistic snap-together kit. For the modelist's standard, not very detailed, there are not cut-out windows or doors, it's just a big block of plastic. So I embellished it a little...

Sorry to nitpick, but that's actually the Disney World Polynesian Hotel. We've had a couple of the monorails for years now, from the first year they came out, and have had them circling our Christmas tree along with a train each year ever since. Sadly, not this year though. My kids are getting older and they didn't request it so we didn't do it. I'll do it next year though. If they won't be kids, I will.
